The super star clusters are arranged in an ellipse around the center of NGC 253, which from the Earth's perspective appears as a flat line. [15] Star formation is also high in the northeast of NGC 253's disk, where a number of red supergiant stars can be found, and in its halo there are young stars as well as some amounts of neutral hydrogen.
